  • Patent number: 11907300
    Abstract: A method can include accessing data generated during field operations; generating a graph that includes vertices and edges using at least a portion of the data, where the edges represent relationships between vertices; and generating a query result using the graph responsive to receipt of a query.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11619761
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are set forth for providing a graphing database for exploration and/or production data, e.g., as used in the oil & gas industry. The graphing database can include multiple different entities that are defined by nodes, node edges, and properties that are generated from information collected by an exploration and/or production system. Entities can be designated as complete when the attribute data associated with those entities satisfy mapping rules for standardizing different types of entities. In this way, end users that access data from the graphing database can receive complete data that is consistently available through a variety of sources.

  • Publication number: 20180049856
    Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein for a system and method for reducing bacteria of a tooth receiving root canal treatment, the tooth having a root canal, and the method includes deploying an intracanal electrode within the root canal; deploying an intraoral electrode in close proximity to the root canal and external to the tooth; and applying a potential difference between the electrodes to create an electric field therebetween to reduce the bacteria of the tooth.

  • Patent number: 8861115
    Abstract: Systems and methods are included for determining a presence of an upcoming reading field during a write mode of a storage device, and initiating a read-while write (RWW) mode of the storage device in response to the sensed reading field. Initiating the RWW mode comprises warming up the reader circuitry, generating a signal in response to an end to the write operation, and activating reader bias current in response to the generated signal.

  • Patent number: 8737000
    Abstract: Approaches for determining the timing latency of a communication path are described. Some embodiments involve a method for testing timing latency. A signal is driven on a first data path and is returned through a second data path through a loop back element. The timing latency of at least a portion of the communication path that includes the first data path and the second data path is tested using the signal returned on the second data path. The gain of the second data path is adjusted to a test value during the testing of the timing latency.

  • Patent number: 8687300
    Abstract: Systems and/or methods for measuring latency in an electronic device such as, e.g., a storage device, may include coupling circuitry configured to capacitively couple an outbound or write data path to an inbound or read data path. A latency measurement signal may be driven on the write data path, the coupling circuitry may transmit at least a portion of the latency measurement signal from the write data path to the read data path, and the latency measurement signal may be sensed on the read data path to be used to determine communication path latency in the device.

  • Patent number: 7952829
    Abstract: A circuit includes a slider, a data storage medium and a contact detection circuit electrically coupled to the slider and to the data storage medium. The contact detection circuit is configured to sense an electrical current indicative of contact between the slider and the data storage medium and responsively provide a contact detection output. The electrical current is produced without the application of a separate voltage between the slider and the data storage medium.
